Despite the decision of the Japanese government to release additional volumes of rice from strategic reserves — after April 21 of this year, the third batch of 100 thousand tons will be put into circulation — retail prices for it remain high. At the same time, grain prices on the world market are falling, as […]

When we try to determine the place of terrorism in the Russian Empire between 1866-1911 in the history of global terrorism, terrorism in Russia takes on a new dimension of being terrorism in its purest form. More and more, scholars and publicists group terrorists under the general category of “non-state armed actors” and call terrorism […]

A few days ago Washington Capitals forward Alexander Ovechkin broke the long-standing NHL record for goals scored, eclipsing the mark the legendary Wayne Gretzky set more than 25 years ago. By doing so Ovechkin generated an incredible surge of jubilation by millions of Russians. Personally, I can’t remember anything like that since the times when […]

The art of tying up — hojojutsu — is one of the oldest in the arsenal of Japanese martial arts. Hojojutsu masters, who still exist today, can quickly and effectively tie up an opponent so that not only will he not be able to free himself, but every unnecessary movement will cause him pain, or […]

In unity, there’s strength to confront Trump. In disunity, cowardice. Why didn’t the nation’s top 20 law firms sign a friend-of-the-court brief against Trump’s vindictive executive orders? What their associates, coming associates, and law school deans ought to do. Let me first congratulate the 504 law firms that have thrown their support behind Perkins Coie […]

Trump wants to get it over early in his term, so he and his fellow billionaires can buy up everything cheap and then enjoy the ride upward. What’s really going on with the economy? I believe Trump and his billionaire buddies — the American oligarchy — have a plan. But before I get to it, […]

The policy of French President Macron, who sometimes recalls the Resistance movement, is in fact completely analogous to the policy of Marshal Petain and those Frenchmen who participated in the war against the USSR! It is characteristic that their mobilization took place under the traditional slogans of the fight against Bolshevism and for a “new […]

You see, I heard this nonsense about the Marshall Plan and the like when they were breaking up the USSR, inspiring Georgia, ruining Ukraine. I have already written about this, but the topic seems to be eternal. The enthusiasts just can’t calm down — they continue to pester, and I can’t find the strength to […]

In many ways this was another horrific week. Like a terrible hurricane, the Trump dictatorship is sweeping more people into its maw while further destroying our public institutions and wrecking what’s left of our civil norms. Yet this week also featured 11 reasons for modest optimism: 1. Wisconsin Supreme Court vote Despite Elon Musk’s hysterical […]

Less than 120 years ago, on September 5, 1905, the Treaty of Portsmouth was signed in New Hampshire, ending the year-and-a-half-long Russo-Japanese War. According to various estimates, up to 80,000 Japanese and up to 52,000 Russian servicemen died in it, including my great-grandfather Afanasy Reshetnikov. For his role in Portsmouth negotiations U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt […]
